Student Learning Outcomes and Rubrics QEP HIP Grant Information Sessions Christina Chester-Fangman and Barb Peterson Co-Chairs, QEP Faculty / Staff Development & Support Committee Thursday, March 23, 2017 / Monday, March 27, 2017

QEP Faculty / Staff Development & Support Committee Ø Our charge is two-fold: 1) plan training and support for faculty / staff who wish to engage students in a High Impact Practice (HIP); the focus of this training will be related to the use of the Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) rubric designed to assess a “Signature Assignment” related to a QEP High Impact Practice. 2) review specific faculty “Signature Assignments” to ensure they align with the SLO Rubric

Integrative Learning VALUE Rubric � Based on AAC&U � 3 SLOs: ◦ Student will be able to connect applied experiences derived from participation in HIPs with relevant knowledge acquired in the University setting. ◦ The student will be able to adapt and apply skills, abilities, theories, or methodologies acquired in the University setting to address novel situations or problems in applied settings. ◦ The student will be able to demonstrate the ability to engage in meaningful self-reflection that leads to self-awareness and a sense of competence of effective responding to new and challenging contexts. � Rubric

Aligning Your “Signature Assignment” with the Rubric � Design your “Signature Assignment” to help students reflect critically on the HIP experience ◦ Include specific language from the rubric ◦ Use action verbs (evaluate, analyze, compare, contrast) to help students think more critically about their HIP experience ◦ Refrain from the use of prompts that have narrow responses (ex. Yes or no questions)

Bloom’s Taxonomy � To promote higher forms of thinking in education rather than just rote learning ◦ SLO #1 = Think �analyze, relate, synthesize ◦ SLO #2 = Act �apply, demonstrate, justify ◦ SLO #3 = Reflect �evaluate, critique, judge

Sample Assignments � Signature Assignments are unique based on the course, the HIP experience, and you � Examples submitted and accepted ◦ ◦ ◦ Poster session for conference Portfolio for internship Rehearsal process in dance Performance and conducting styles in music Clinical practice in nursing Analysis of traditional and non-traditional pharmacology NOTE: A written reflection that addresses all three SLOs is required for all projects!
